Smolderdash is as steely and determined as they come. She whips her enemies into shape, and doesn't take no for an answer.[2]
Biography
Smolderdash had always wanted to be a royal defender of the Fire Temple - home of the First Flame, a sacred torch that had been ignited by the original Fire Source. Unfortunately, she had been born during an eclipse and was believed by her people to be cursed, which prevented her from such an honor. But when Kaos stole the flame and used it to light the candles on his birthday cake, it was Smolderdash who went after it. Blazing like a comet, she dashed into Kaos' Lair, repelled the troll security force with her flaming whip, and retrieved the sacred flame just before Kaos blew out the candles. Smolderdash returned home as a champion of her people and was finally granted the honor of becoming a royal defender. But she graciously declined, having set a new goal for herself - to help fight against Kaos as a member of the Skylanders.
Story
History
Smolderdash dreamed of becoming a defender of the Fire Temple and a protector of the First Flame that burned within. But there was a problem - since she was born during an eclipse, her people thought she was cursed, so they wouldn't let her. That all changed when Kaos stole the First Flame to light his birthday cake candles. Heroically, Smolderdash tracked him down and gave him a proper thrashing. Realizing then that she was destined to be more than a mere Fire Temple defender, she set off to join the Skylanders.[3]

Smolderdash was one of the Skylanders who attempted to fight the Bone Dragon, but was turned to stone during the struggle. She was later returned to normal along with the other present Skylanders.
Skylanders: Trigger Happy Targets the Evil Kaos
Smolderdash, Trigger Happy and Food Fight were assigned to defeat a Water Viper that was attacking the Mabu Market. After their mission, they were called back to Eon's Citadel by Spyro to see Master Eon. The Magic segment to the Mask of Power was revealed to be hiding somewhere on Wool Mountain under the guise of a sheep, and Master Eon enlisted Smolderdash, Spyro, Trigger Happy and Food Fight to find it before Kaos does. Once they found and claimed the Segment, they returned to Eon's Citadel.
Afterwards, Smolderdash aided the other Skylanders in retrieving the pieces of the Mask of Power from Kaos, but were outmatched when the evil Portal Master used the Mask of Power to steal their abilities.

In SuperChargers and the Academy series, Grey DeLisle was credited under her second name, Grey Griffin.
Smolderdash's Lost Islands version of backstory
As a LightCore figure, her eyes and forehead light up. But within the game, any part of her that is yellow makes her glow. Also, despite her LightCore artwork, she doesn't wield a flaming whip in her hand, but in the game she does.
Also, her LightCore figure form is shaped slightly different than the regular figure version. Her chin was a bit round and her arms and legs are a little wider than whereas the core figure of Smolderdash is very accurate.
She has an Employee 2013 Special Edition variant called "Snowderdash" in which her fiery pedestal, eyes and the rest of the parts where they are originally orange and yellow are blue instead. Also, her jet black body is glittering silvery-white.
She resembles the Flame Guard from Adventure Time.
In Skylanders: Lost Islands, Smolderdash has a different backstory than the one on the official Skylanders website.
She is the only Skylander with an attack that is the same as her name.
However, in the 3DS version of Trap Team, Spotlight also has this feature.
She, Trigger Happy, and Gusto are the only Skylanders to have the word, "glory," in their catchphrases.
She resembles The Statue Of Liberty in New York, both sharing torches and tiaras with arrows on their ends.
Smolderdash, along with Fiesta were going to appear in an updated expansion of Skylanders: Battlecast, with a single known Gear card "Heat Seeker", but due to the update's cancellation, they were scrapped.
In Ring of Heroes, Smolderdash is much taller and more curvaceous, and has more details on her gloves and boots.
